Match 3 to avoid congestion

I agree with the whole start with 7 and observe each round... I think you can do it... I know you can do it!

Adapting to counter like tomcat said is key. If you play a couple middle numbers early and win, you know he's probably conserving high numbers til the end. So you'd want to save your lowest til the end as throwaway points.

^ What Switza said is a great idea. If he starts with low numbers to gauge your strategy, he might assume you're using all of your highest numbers for sure wins, thus throw away his low numbers, and you'd still have low numbers to throw away and high numbers to win.

In that case, I'd say start with 6 (since it's black/white, you'd still know whether he played 7 or 8 if he beats you, and depending on his number - ie: if he plays 4 or 5 - he could assume you played 8 to have a definite early lead). That way you'll get a sense if he's conserving high numbers, and if he wins - you know what number he played.

But again, mostly go in with an idea of a strategy, but constantly be on the look out to adapt/change it.

Thanks Tom I know i've been playing reckless since the beginning. Wasn't trying to be a hero or anything, I guess there is a reason behind my death wish style. I wish you all luck if I don't come back. I'm proud to be a part of this group.
